ABOUT ME
Jessica Dooley, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Hello! I'm Jessica, I'm a wife, a mom to three boys, and I work in advertising.
I had my first son in May 2020 and we found ourselves at the start of the pandemic, in a lockdown, and with no help at all with this new baby. We quickly learned that sleep deprivation was not our thing and that we were just not enjoying parenthood. Through LOTS of research, we slowly started to instill good sleep habits, and around 4 months of age we did more formal sleep training. At this point, my oldest was easily sleeping from 7 pm to 7 am and falling asleep independently at night and for naps. It was life-changing for me and for my relationship with my husband. We could enjoy our nights together and the whole family was happier. My son truly became the Best Little Sleeper. Today he is a 4-year-old who still loves sleep. He will ask us to put him down for a nap or bedtime and is happy throughout the whole routine. Enjoying the bedtime routine brings me so much joy each night.
We welcomed baby #2 in January 2022 at 34 weeks. This was a whole different experience having a premature baby and I felt like I was back to square one on understanding sleep and having expectations for what was going to be normal for him. After our month-long stint in the NICU, we came home and I immediately instilled solid sleep habits and routines. I also constantly reminded myself of his adjusted age to give him grace with what I expected him to do or pushed him to do. Through this approach, he actually never needed any formal sleep training. By 12 weeks old, he was sleeping 11-12 hours at night consistently. He was naturally the Best Little Sleeper!

And most recently, we welcomed our thrid boy in February 2024 and he just might be our BEST little sleeper yet. He's a true natural <3
Throughout these different experiences, I developed a love for sleep 'training' and found myself constantly helping friends and family. I'm so grateful for my three Best Little Sleepers and to see the impact good sleep has on their development, their mood, and our family's happiness. I truly look forward to helping parents and their little ones throughout their sleep journey.
